INDIANAPOLIS — New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride loves almost everything about Eli Manning. However, there is one thing Gilbride does not love. When Manning is about to be sacked, he occasionally shifts the ball to his left hand and makes a shovel pass to a teammate.

Gilbride considers that too risky, with the potential for a turnover too high.

Even when the desperation play works, it makes Gilbride furious. He does not want to see Manning throw any kind of lefthanded pass in Super Bowl XLVI.

“He still does it,” Gilbride said. “I go crazy. It is foolish; it is stupid. You are asking for a disaster. Don’t do that. Sometimes the instincts are just so strong that they take over.”

Even when Manning and Gilbride have a sideline disagreement, it rarely lasts long. Gilbride admires Manning’s ability to keep looking forward to the next play.

“He has an amazing ability to put the last play behind him,” Gilbride said. “Some guys can’t do that. One bad play leads to another bad play. Not with Eli. Sometimes I just wish he wasn’t as much of risk taker.”
